2014 Map of Adrian

About this map

Kingston Lake and a complex network of coastal plain wetlands define this portion of Horry County, South Carolina. The landscape is characterized by numerous "bays" and swamps, such as Brown Bay and Chinners Swamp, which historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport routes. Clusters of activity are centered around rural junctions like Adrian, Baker Crossroads, and Saint Paul Forks, reflecting a dispersed agricultural and timber-based community structure. Local family and church history is grounded in landmarks such as Thompson Cem and Mt Pisgah Cemetery Rd. The presence of the Hoffman Pond Dam on Grier Swamp highlights the management of water resources in this low-lying region, where drainage features like Brown Swamp and Poplar Swamp converge toward the deeper basin near Homewood.
